Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken prior to residential development. No finds of any of the prehistoric periods were recorded within 300m of the study site. A small assemblage of Roman finds were recorded within 300m of the site in the area of White Horse Lane. Overall the archaeological potential of the site, prior to its quarrying for brick-earth, could be defined as low to moderate and now as non-existent. Despite documentary evidence for a Saxon settlement at Stepney there was no evidence for its extent or form. A single find of Saxon date was recorded within 300m of the site, a pit from Stepney High Street. The site was believed to have been located open agricultural land until the mid-18th century, when it was quarried for brick-earth and then developed in the period c.1805 to 1810. The 'Prince of Wales' public house was first built in c.1805 and was rebuilt in c.1880. Overall, the archaeological potential of the site for this period could be defined as low. Due to past post-depositional impacts the site no longer had any archaeological potential. [Au(abr)] |
